Fix the Burke Gilman - Matthews Beach Park start (Leisurely)

Fix the Burke Gilman : We will ride from Matthews Beach Park to the Seattle Board of Park and Recreation Commissioners meeting at 100 Dexter Ave North. Public comment usually starts at 6:35 pm. We want to be there plenty early to get bicycles parked and everyone in place without being a disruption to the meeting.  

Special Instructions To make public comment sign up ahead of time by emailing benjamin.burtzos@seattle.gov before 5:00 pm on the day of the meeting. You are not required to make a public comment. Please copy the ride leader on the email to Benjamin so we know how many people plan to make comments. 

Route: We will ride south on the Burke-Gilman Trail to Gas Works Park. From there we will join up with other bicycling advocates and proceed on 34th Ave, the Fremont Bridge, then south on West Lake Union Cycle path and 9th Ave N until we reach 100 Dexter Ave for the meeting.  

Fenders: If the riding surfaces are wet, please come equipped with fenders long enough to keep the person riding behind you dry or be the caboose.

Ride start: We meet at the Matthews Beach parking lot.  Please be ready to ride at 4:45 pm. We will start with the required safety briefing and roll out when that's done.  All riders must attend the safety briefing to participate. Note: Water and restrooms are available at the start. Be prepared if you have a mechanical problem (e.g. ready to fix a flat tire.)

Parking: Free parking at Matthews Beach parking lot. 

Weather cancelation: If weather conditions meet the weather cancelation criterion listed above or if there are unforeseen hazardous riding conditions or other unexpected events, the Ride Leader will post a ride-canceled note in the Comments section below at least two hours prior to the start and Ride Leader(s) will not be at the start location.

If you have questions, please contact the Ride Leader.
